THE VICTOR ANGELOSANTE AWARD

NOMINATION FORM

DESCRIPTION OF AWARD

The Victor Angelosante Award is named in honour of Mr. Victor Angelosante, a former Health and Physical Education Program Coordinator for the Toronto Catholic District School Board, school administrator, teacher, coach and Toronto Catholic Schools Athletic Association (TCSAA) executive member who died in 1994. Victor Angelosante recognized early in his career that school athletics possessed enormous potential to build Christian fellowship in the hearts and minds of young people in our schools. He further recognized and demonstrated that athletics was one of many critical avenues educators could pursue to foster in children a sense of respect and confidence, an understanding of commitment, the significance of teamwork, and the desire to dedicate energy toward the pursuit of excellence.

The Victor Angelosante Award is presented annually to a TCDSB elementary employee who, through significant involvement with athletics and the TCSAA, has made an outstanding contribution toward the overall development and education of young people. The award winner is one who personifies those qualities Victor demonstrated in abundance and one who embodies and inculcates by example the highest traditions of a Catholic educator and a dedicated sportsperson.
